How To Make Snickerdoodle Muffins Recipe

My kids love these muffins.
-Too dense and very bland. If I make these again, I will add cinnamon sugar and more milk to the batter.
– made these last night, i did add a bit extra cinnamon and i added pecans as well. my kids loved them!! i also put the oats through my food processor to make then more like flour.. they turned out awesome!!!
-Thanks for the recipe, Robyn. I didn’t have any problems following it.

I really like these muffins. They’re great plain, with a little streusel-like layer of cinnamon/sugar and chopped toasted pecans in the center and a baked topping of the same mixture. An icing glaze drizzled on while they’re still warm is nice too.

I use almond milk or coconut milk instead of dairy milk and it works just fine. My oatmeal is old-fashioned organic and it tends to be a bit thick, so I gave it a few pulses in the food processor.

This recipe works well with variations. A now-closed muffin shop in my town used to make oatmeal-peach muffins that were delicious and addictive. The second time I made these I added about a cup of chopped frozen peaches (thawed before chopping of course). They were wonderful and made the muffins more moist. I think the recipe would also be good with apples, blackberries, raspberries, bananas or mangoes but I haven’t tried them yet.

Self-rising flour isn’t readily available in all parts of the country and probably not at all in foreign countries, so it’s not a universal ingredient. That might be why there are so many questions about it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it in the stores where I live because of altitude.

Ingredients:

For The Muffin:
½ cup softened unsalted butter
⅔ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
½ cup milk
¼ cup sour cream
1⅔ cups all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
For Topping:
3 tablespoons melted butter
⅓ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

How To Make CLASSIC CHERRY DELIGHT

Indulge in this timeless dessert that pairs the sweetness of cherry with the creamy texture of the filling and a crunchy graham crust. The Classic Cherry Delight is a perfect no-bake dessert for any occasion – from family dinners to special gatherings. A treat that’s simple yet packed with flavor!

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

Unsalted Butter: 7 tablespoons, melted

Graham Cracker Crumbs: 1 1/2 cups (from about 9 whole crackers)

Granulated Sugar: 3 tablespoons

For the Filling:

Cream Cheese: 8 ounces, softened

Powdered Sugar: 1 cup

Pure Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon

Cool Whip: 8 ounces (1 container)

Cherry Pie Filling: 21 ounces (1 can)

Instructions:

Preparing the Crust:

Granulated Sugar: 3 tablespoons

For the Filling:

Cream Cheese: 8 ounces, softened

Powdered Sugar: 1 cup

Pure Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon

Cool Whip: 8 ounces (1 container)

Cherry Pie Filling: 21 ounces (1 can)

Directions:

Preparing the Crust:

Begin by melting the butter in a medium-sized bowl. You can use a microwave, setting it for about 30 seconds or until the butter is completely melted.

Stir in the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Ensure it’s mixed well.

Transfer this mixture into an 8 x 8 baking dish that has been lightly sprayed or greased. Press down the mixture firmly to create an even base. Keep this aside.

Creating the Filling:

Take a larger bowl and place your softened cream cheese inside. With the help of a mixer, blend until the texture becomes smooth without any lumps.

Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Blend well.

Introduce the Cool Whip into this mixture. Mix it in just enough so that the Cool Whip integrates with the cream cheese. Be careful not to overmix.

Gently spread this creamy blend over the crust you prepared earlier. You can use either a spoon or an offset spatula for an even spread.

Layering the Cherry Topping:

Tenderly spoon out the cherry pie filling and lay it over the creamy layer. Aim for a uniform spread across the surface.

Chilling the Dessert:

Once assembled, transfer the baking dish to the refrigerator. Let it chill for a minimum of 2 hours. This allows the dessert to set and the flavors to blend.
